HENRY KELLY AND JOSEPH KELLY, OF GOSHEN, INDIANA.

PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of. Letters Patent No. 289,270, datedNovember 2'7, 1883.

Application filed May 28, 1883.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HENRY KELLY and JOSEPH KELLY. citizens of theUnited States, residing at Goshen, in the county of Elkhart and State ofIndiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pumps, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to the class of wooden pumps known as theCucumber Pump, in which the pump stock has a vertical slot at its upperend; and our improvement consists of a bracket-bearin g for the handle,of novel construction,adapted, in connection with the handle, topractically close the pump-slot, to pre vent foreign matters beingthrown into the pump, to prevent the endwise displacement of thepivot-pin, and to prevent the splitting of the pump-stock. Theconstruction by which upper end.

these objects are attained is illustrated in the accompanying drawings,in which Figure 1 represents an elevation of a pump embracing ourimprovements; Fig. 2, avertical section of the same; Fig. 3, across-section taken on the line y y of Fig. 2; and Fig. 4, a view inperspective of the bracket-bearing, looking at the rear or open side,toshow the inside wall recesses or grooves closed at their outer endsand open at their inner ends at the back of the bracket, to receive thepivots of the handle.

The usual woodenpump-stock is shown in the drawings with the verticalslot 0 in its Our improved bracket-bearin g A is cast in one piece, openat the back, closed at its upper front side, and open at its lower frontside, and within the inside walls of this lower open part are formedcross recesses or grooves a a, closed at their outer ends, a a, andextending to and opening at the back of the bracket, to receive,confine, and cover the handle-pivots b b. which are inserted within saidrecesses at their open ends, forced inward against the closed ends, andsecured in place by removable wooden plugs c c,driven into the open endsof said recesses against the pivots,

and flush with the inner faces of the side (No model.)

passes, and which works within and practically closes the lower openpart of the casting, while allowing of the proper movement of the handlein the pump-slot and within the casting. By this construction anordinary pivotpin may be used, driven into the handle cylindrica-l part,and inserted in the open-ended bearing-recesses in the operation ofplacing the handle in position through the open end of the bracket, sothat the pivot-pin is entirely covered and secured, so that it canneither work out endwise nor work back out of the open ends of thecross-recesses. The casting is complete for attachment to the pump bythe screws (1 d passing through the side flanges. The cross-recesses areformed, as described, in side enlargements, and give an importantadvantage in allowing the handle to be first fitted with the pivot-pinand easily and quickly set in place in the bracketrecesses, and securedtherein by the wooden plugs before the bracket is fastened to the pumpstock. This construction renders it comparatively inexpensive to castthe single bracket. It avoids the difficulty attending the use of coresin casting round holes for the pin, or of casting the pivot-pin and thencasting the bracket-bearing thereon, as has been done. i A screen, isplaced in the open bottom of an urn, D, which, while providing for theintroduction of water to start the pump, as is often found necessary,also protects the pump against the entrance of leaves, sticks, andstones.

We claim 7 1. The improved pump bracket bearing herein described, havingits upper front part closed, its lower front part open, the inside wallsof the lower open part having each a cross recess or groove, a a, closedat its outer end and extending to and opening at the back of thebracket, to receive, confine, and cover the handle-pivots in applyingthe bracket, substantially as described, for the purpose specified.

2. The combination, with the pump-stock having avertical side slot inits upper end, of a single bracket-bearing having its upper frontpartclo sed and its lower front part open, the inside walls of thelatter part having cross having the pivots b I), and formed with thecylindrical part through which said pivotpin is -centrally driven, asshown, and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
